Liver, kidney and muscle samples from a total number of 246 animals of cattle (73), buffaloes (74), camels (37), sheep and goats (62) aging from one to 7 years old were collected and analysed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer for estimation of lead residues. According to the Egyptian Standards (ES) (2360/2007), lead concentrations in buffalo and cow muscles were generally low and far away from the maximum residual limit. On the other hand, 18.75% of both kidneys and livers, 68.75% of muscles of slaughtered ole camels and 52.4% of young camel muscles contained residual lead more than the permissible limit.
